Question

question 10
what is the name of licl?
lithide chlorine
lithium (i) chloride
lithium chloride
lithium chlorine

Explanation:

Li is the symbol for lithium, a metal. Cl is the symbol for chlorine. In naming ionic compounds, the metal name comes first followed by the non - metal name with the ending changed to 'ide'. So LiCl is lithium chloride. Lithium generally has a + 1 charge and is a main - group metal, so the (I) in lithium (I) chloride is unnecessary. Lithide is an incorrect term for the lithium ion in this context, and lithium chlorine is an incorrect naming convention.

Answer:

lithium chloride
